In Defense of Despair The feeling is most commonly framed as an end point, a level of despondency that cannot be overcome. But it doesn’t have to be so.

This is one of the most profound essays I’ve read in years. You don’t need me to tell you that Hanif Abdurraqib is one of the finest writers of our time, but this essay in particular is a hard-won offering. Please read it and share with people you love.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

We just witnessed an ambush - a media lynching - from the President of the United States toward President Zelensky & a democratic nation.

The POTUS just said pull out & side with Russia or we’re out.

Ukraine didn’t start this war.
Putin is a dictator & a murderer.

We must stand with Ukraine.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

Chris Murphy Emerges as a Clear Voice for Democrats Countering Trump (Gift Article) The second-term senator from Connecticut is eschewing caution and throwing out the traditional political playbook as he seeks a broader audience for his critiques of the president and his agenda.

β€œRight now, there is a distinct possibility that we do not have a free and fair election in 2028, and all of our work is to make sure that doesn’t happen,” he said.

Finally, someone steps up.

Any MoC not fighting Trump & Musk is violating this oath.

Uh oh. Red states are starting to feel the pain. Trump’s massive federal cuts are leaving communities high and dry. Cue the part where Republicans start to give a damn.

Unacceptable. Locked doors won’t stop us from fighting for parents, students, and educators. We will keep showing up. We will not be silenced.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.

We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.

Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.
